you guess?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do u divide?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
if we average 5 numbers then
\[\frac{a+b+c+d+e}{5}=average\]
in your case we are given the first 4 numbers, we need to find the 5th
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so add the top and divide it by 5?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
\[\frac{78+84+69+83+t}{5}=80\]
multiply both sides by 5
\[78+84+69+83+t = 400\]

OpenStudy (littlebird):
You get an average by adding the numbers together and dividing by the number of integers. In this case, there are 5 numbers. You have to add them together and divide them by 5 with the end result being 80.
